look, i’ve been on reta for a bit now and i’ve noticed some interesting changes in my sleep architecture. honestly, it’s not all about the deep sleep - i’ve seen a shift in my REM patterns too. i track my sleep with a wearable and log it in a spreadsheet, and what’s caught my attention is the correlation between my reta dose and the timing of my REM cycles. fwiw, i’ve also been using a correlation view tool that’s helped me identify some patterns i wouldn’t have seen otherwise - like how my sleep quality affects my joint pain.
anyway, my question is: has anyone else on reta noticed anything similar? i’m not talking about just feeling more rested or whatever, i’m talking about actual changes in sleep stage timing and duration. i’ve been experimenting with different doses and timing, and i’m starting to think that reta might be affecting my sleep in more ways than i initially thought. for example, i’ve noticed that when i take reta in the morning, my REM cycles are more intense and frequent at night.
but when i take it at night, my deep sleep is longer and more restorative. it’s like my body is responding to the reta in different ways depending on when i take it. i’d love to hear from others who have experience with this - what have you noticed about your sleep on reta? and has anyone else found that their sleep patterns affect their peptide responses in other ways?
